This research study is looking at tumor tissue samples from patients who have undergone surgery for advanced stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer. Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how tumor infiltrating T cells can predict how patients will respond to treatment.

The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate the survival curves, and the log-rank test will be used to test the difference between survival curves for TIL positive and negative patients. All of the tests will be two-sided and the significant levels will be set a 0.05.

Patients who have had either optimal or suboptimal cytoreductive surgery

Patients for whom adequate demographic data, including major prognostic factors and follow-up information, were collected

Evaluable patients must have had measurable or nonmeasurable disease

Demographic and follow-up data available
